Euronext’s pan-European training programme for non-listed fast-growing Tech businesses welcomes a new cohort of 68 companies, a 45% increase over last year.

Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon and Paris – 29 September 2017 – Euronext is pleased to announce the launch of the third edition of TechShare, a unique educational programme that familiarises high-potential European tech companies with capital markets. On 29 - 30 September, 2017 at HEC Paris business school, and in March 2018 at Belgium’s Vlerick Business School, Euronext and its programme partners will welcome representatives of TechShare’s latest cohort of innovative Belgian, Dutch, French and Portuguese businesses.

The selection process for the 68 successful candidates, versus 47 last year, included a thorough analysis of their technological innovations, business models and strategies. The 2017-18 TechShare participants are comprised of 16 Belgian, 14 Dutch, 32 French and 6 Portuguese companies operating in a variety of sectors, such as digital technologies, life sciences, and green industries. Collectively, they represent €500 million in turnover and more than 6,500 employees. Over a 10-month period, their representatives will benefit from technical workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions organised by partners as well as two on-site sessions at HEC Paris and Vlerick Business School.

To accompany the TechShare entrepreneurs in the next stage of their growth plans, 48 partners join Euronext this year, including 14 new ones. Chosen for their expertise in their respective fields of activity, partners will familiarise entrepreneurs with market expectations and provide advice on how to prepare for a successful listing.

Since the launch of TechShare, two programme participants have completed their initial public offering on Euronext markets, financing the continued growth of their companies: Osmozis, an operator of multi-service WiFI networks, and Balyo, specialised in handling truck automation.

Gerard Tremblay, Chief Executive Officer of Osmozis, said: “We are very proud to be the first company having graduated from the TechShare programme to go public, by listing on Euronext Growth Paris. This financing round represents a key stage in our company’s development, raising our profile and funding a new cycle of profitable growth.”

Fabien Bardinet, Chief Executive Officer of Balyo, added: “Choosing to pursue an IPO has been one of the most important decisions of my professional life. Only a few months after the listing I can already measure the significant benefits, not just in terms of our cash position, but also the positive impact the increased market visibility has had on our daily business. The TechShare programme was instrumental in understanding the implications of our decision, and without it we would probably have passed on this great opportunity.”

Stéphane Boujnah, Chairman of the Managing Board and CEO of Euronext, said: “We are delighted to kick off another year for TechShare in collaboration with our valued partners who have been instrumental in its proven effectiveness among entrepreneurs. This unique networking and coaching programme enables them to confidently navigate the financing ecosystem. Euronext is fully committed to providing European Tech companies with the access to capital markets necessary for their long-term growth, as demonstrated by our recent announcement to expand our Tech offering outside our core countries.”

Euronext launches a European Tech SME initiative beyond its core domestic markets, opening offices in four new countries – Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland – and deploying teams on the ground to work collaboratively with local ecosystems

All four countries to benefit from new dedicated solutions for Tech SMEs and the extension of existing successful programs

Euronext is committed to becoming the reference listing venue for Tech companies in Europe

Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris and Zurich – 4 September 2017 – Euronext, the leading pan-European exchange in the Eurozone, announced today the opening of new offices in five European cities outside its core markets – in Germany (Frankfurt, Munich), Italy (Milan), Spain (Madrid) and Switzerland (Zurich) – to assist Tech companies in developing their business on a greater scale through capital markets. The countries were selected for their growth opportunities in the Tech sector.

Recent record-breaking years have demonstrated that Europe is becoming a critical location for pioneering innovations. To make Europe a world-wide hub for innovation, Euronext is committed to help bridge the late-stage funding gap, an ongoing obstacle for European Tech SMEs wanting to grow at a global level. Euronext also offers a solution to the liquidity gap faced by business angels and venture capitalists eager to have an attractive capital markets option in Europe to sell their investments in European Tech companies.

Euronext will leverage its expertise and the initiatives successfully implemented in its core domestic markets in recent years. With currently more than 330 listed companies operating in Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Cleantech and Life Sciences, representing a consolidated market capitalisation of more than €50bn, Euronext has the largest number of Tech SMEs in Europe and stands as the world’s largest listing venue for Medtech and second largest for Biotech. Well underway to becoming the reference listing venue for Tech companies in Europe, Euronext has had more than 80 Tech companies go public on its markets since 2014, of which eight were from the four new countries in Europe.

Euronext’s representatives[1] in the new European countries will use their strong expertise and local networks to help entrepreneurs better explore their financing options, and assist with access to capital markets. They will be supported by a new European team of analytics and communication experts. The newly appointed team is committed to working cooperatively with all the local ecosystem players.

In the coming months, Euronext will extend the following Tech initiatives into the four new countries:

TechShare: a unique pan-European educational programme dedicated to helping executives of Tech SMEs better understand how to use capital markets and the challenges of an IPO. Launched in 2015, this programme enables entrepreneurs to explore the opportunity of listing in parallel with their specific business projects, and to anticipate IPO-related issues. This programme will be up and running by September 2018 for companies from Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.

Morningstar® Equity research programme: Euronext’s partnership with Morningstar, a leading provider of independent investment research in Europe, to increase the coverage of Tech SMEs by financial analysts. The programme will provide up-to-date synthetic analysis on Tech stocks listed on Euronext, expand the pool of potential investors, and enhance the sector’s visibility.

Tech 40 Label and Index: this initiative increases the exposure of Tech companies listed on Euronext and provides access to a greater scope of services including investor roadshows and a dedicated index.

In 2018, Euronext will deploy two new programmes specifically for European Tech SMEs[2]:

Get to know your investors: following their listing, companies will benefit from in-house market intelligence services for six months. The services will be tailored for their business and will help them develop a better understanding of their investor base.

Trade & Leverage: following their listing, companies will benefit from investor access initiatives sponsored by Euronext, such as equity research, investor events and forums. Market leading providers will be pre-selected to offer the best results and services at the best price.

Stéphane Boujnah, Chairman of the Managing Board and CEO of Euronext, said: “Consistent with Euronext’s Agility for Growth strategy, we aim to leverage our expertise in successfully financing Tech companies, developed in our four core markets over recent years, to serve selected dynamic markets in Europe. We believe that Euronext is well positioned to support local Tech SME leaders across the continent to bridge funding and liquidity gaps, and contribute to making Europe a global hub for innovation and growth.”

Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, London and Paris – 14 August 2017 – Euronext today announces it has completed the acquisition of c.90% of FastMatch, the fastest growing Electronic Communication Network (“ECN”) in the spot foreign exchange market, after having received regulatory and anti-trust approvals. This follows the announcement of 23 May 2017 on the signing of the agreement with the existing shareholders of FastMatch.

Consistent with Euronext’s “Agility for Growth” strategy, this transaction diversifies Euronext’s top line, accelerates its growth profile and allows the group to extend its “best execution” value proposition to an additional asset class.

Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, London and Paris – 8 August 2017– Euronext, the leading pan-European exchange in the Eurozone, announces it has signed binding terms with LCH SA, LCH Group and London Stock Exchange Group for the continued provision of clearing services for its derivatives products.

The agreement covers the clearing of financial derivatives and commodity derivatives for a period of 10 years offering comparable financial conditions. Euronext and LCH SA will work together to develop new products for the benefit of clearing members and market participants.

Euronext will swap its current 2.3% stake in LCH Group for an 11.1% stake in LCH SA, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. LCH SA is a leading multi-asset CCP, based in the Eurozone, with substantial growth opportunities in the fixed income and CDS businesses. This transaction will strengthen the long-standing relationship between Euronext and LCH SA, and cement the strategic future of LCH SA.

Euronext will remain on the Board of LCH SA following completion of the share swap. Euronext will also nominate one representative to LCH SA Audit Committee and will continue to be represented at LCH SA Risk Committee. A new Consultative Committee dedicated to Euronext derivatives business will be created.

The new long-term agreement covers the clearing of financial derivatives and commodity derivatives for a period of 10 years, providing continuity of clearing services for members, and saving the cost and disruption associated with a migration at a time where client bandwidth is stretched due to MiFID2 implementation and Brexit planning. Euronext and LCH SA will work together to develop new products for the benefit of clearing members and market participants, and to focus on providing a lower cost service for members.

Euronext and LCH SA will work together to achieve a targeted range of reduction in clearing fees of 5% to 15% with effect from January 2019, depending on each specific product and service. The precise quantum of

the reduction for allocation to each derivative product line will be refined in consultation with market users. The targeted reduction in frictional costs will further improve the competitive landscape and encourage increased trading volumes.

The parties have agreed that Euronext will have certain minority protection rights connected with its new shareholding in LCH SA. Euronext will have a pre-emption right in circumstances where LCH Group decides to sell more than 50% of the shares of LCH SA. The pre-emption right involves a right of first offer and subject to certain conditions, a matching right. In addition, LCH Group has a pre-emption right over a transfer of shares by Euronext and the ability to buy back Euronext's shares in certain circumstances where the derivatives agreement is terminated.

In addition the agreement provides a comparable revenue sharing mechanism delivering a continued clearing income stream for Euronext. Euronext will also recognise at closing a net capital gain following the share swap of around €24m.

Overall this represents a long term, sustainable continuity of clearing services for Euronext and its clients. The formal clearing services agreement is expected to be completed during Q4 2017.

Stéphane Boujnah, CEO and Chairman of the Managing Board, Euronext N.V said: “This agreement is a long-term and sustainable solution for the clearing of our derivative markets. It also provides Euronext with a sizeable ownership position in a leading multi-asset CCP based in the Eurozone with strong positions in the fast growing fixed income and CDS businesses. Our clients will benefit from a reduction in clearing fees and the continuity of service avoids the cost and disruption associated with a migration.”

Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, London and Paris – 10 July 2017 – Euronext announces today the closing of the acquisition of a 60% stake in iBabs, a leading Dutch provider of dematerialised board portal solutions for corporates and public organisations , for a consideration of €30.1 million.

iBabs, based in the Netherlands, provides an efficient and secured board portal solution to close to 1,000 companies and public organisations with more than 77,000 users as of June 2017. The company reported a sustained revenue CAGR of 36% since 2014, generating €5.9 million revenue in 2016 and an EBITDA of €3.8 million (64% margin). In H1 2017, revenues grew by 29% compared to H1 2016.

The acquisition of iBabs marks the achievement of a significant milestone in the deployment of the Agility for Growth strategy announced in May 2016, particularly in the development of Euronext’s Corporate Services franchise. This transaction strengthens Euronext’s value proposition to listed companies while targeting a broader audience of private companies and public institutions. iBabs’ solutions will support governance, workflow management, efficient decision making processes and secured collaboration at board level and more generally across management teams. These solutions will be integrated into the Euronext Corporate Services offering, alongside existing services such as Euronext’s next-generation webcasting platform, investor relationship management tool and tailor-made advisory services. The founding management team of iBabs will remain in place, continuing to grow the business while benefiting from Euronext’s reach and expertise with listed companies.

The use of board portal services is expected to grow significantly over the coming years. With the acquisition of iBabs, Euronext will further accelerate its growth ambition profile while at the same time addressing the growing need of organisations for more streamlined and secure governance.

Fully consistent with Euronext’s disciplined M&A policy, this transaction will be immediately accretive to the earnings with a return on capital employed above Euronext’s cost of capital in the first full year, before taking into account any synergies. The transaction is funded through existing debt facilities.

Stéphane Boujnah, Chairman and CEO of the Managing Board of Euronext NV, commented: “The acquisition of iBabs will enable organisations, both listed and non-listed, private and public, to run more efficiently thanks to this fully digital solution. This acquisition reinforces our commitment to making corporates’ life easier, safer and more productive. It also demonstrates our commitment to deliver growth and profitability to shareholders through a strict M&A discipline. The entrepreneurial spirit and commercial drive of the iBabs team coupled with the concrete response its services provide to day-to-day corporate needs, make us extremely confident in our ability to further roll out the iBabs offering throughout all Euronext markets.”

“We are very pleased to join Euronext today”, Paul Neefjes, CEO of iBabs, added. “We want to make meetings and governance more efficient for the largest number of organisations, and together with Euronext we aim to develop a true pan-European business. Having become the leading player for board portal solutions in the Netherlands, Euronext’s support will enable us to broaden and accelerate our development.”

The heatwave that hit France late June coupled with spring wheat problems in the U.S. has increased uncertainties on the wheat harvest this year which translated into a significant price and volatility increase.

On a year-to-date basis, the overall average daily volume on Euronext derivatives stands at 572,757 contracts (+8.4% compared to end of June 2016) and the open interest was up at 15,517,641 contracts (+5.5% compared to end of June 2016).
